I think race participation has gone up in general. Sure is a good thing with people wanting to get/stay in shape.<br /><br />My wife and daughter started in wave 14 and I started in wave 3. We find the wave system an excellent idea. Makes for a much safer and enjoyable start.<br /><br />We have done the Oyster Bay 5k in the past. Has a hill in the beginning and then downhill after that, if I remember correctly. We are running a Marathon in early October, so no more races for us until then.<br /><br />Good luck in your training and races. Keep running!paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612562696803413049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-31390407560920932492012-09-18T08:17:02.316-04:002012-09-18T08:17:02.316-04:00Hi Paul - I looked for you guys but with that crow...Hi Paul - I looked for you guys but with that crowd I was surprised to find anyone I knew. I hope you had a great race. Did you run it together?<br /><br />Thanks for the clarification on the wave timing process. I&#39;ve made the correction on the post.<br /><br />I&#39;m thinking I&#39;ll do the Town Of Oyster Bay Supervisor&#39;s race next. Do you ever run that? That long hill at the start is something, but it pays you back on the second half!The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-79747639458598035142012-09-17T20:09:13.782-04:002012-09-17T20:09:13.782-04:00Nice race report!

My wife Beth thought she saw you lined up in your wave but she was not sure. <br /><br />Just for clarification, you subtract the number your bib starts with from the time on the clock. So, if your bib starts with 4 (even though that is wave 5) you only subtract 4 minutes from your time.<br /><br />See you at next race.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612562696803413049noreply@blogger.com
